Cornish Hen

Bell & Evans Cornish Hens are tasty and versatile. Minially processed, no antibiotics makes this the perfect choice for your family. The small size is packed with flavor and can be grilled, stuffed, or the centerpiece of a gourmet dinner for two.

Cornish Game Hen

Cornish Game Hens may be prepared by following any Chicken recipe. Either roasted whole by baking in a 350°F oven for 1 – 1 ½ hours until brown or split and grilled or broiled.

We highly recommend the use of both oven thermometers and meat thermometers! Insert the meat thermometer into the hen, NOT TOUCHING BONE. A reading of 175°F indicates the hen is done.

These are the best hens on the market. They are smaller and not hormone fattened, which makes them more tender and tastier. I purchase mine from Whole Foods and they only have them at Christmas. I’ve printed out the info from the web cite to give to my butcher to see if he will order them for me. He carries other hens year round.

    These hens came out truly delicious and moist. I roasted two of them for about an hour and a half and tested with a meat thermometer.

    THE ABSOLUTE BEST CORNISH GAME HENS!!! I can still find them here in Kansas City at Whole Amazon. I hope THAT doesn’t change—since it’s not Whole Foods any longer.

      Hi Tanya, this is the description from the USDA Website: “Rock Cornish game hen or Cornish game hen: an immature chicken younger than five weeks old, of either sex, with a ready-to-cook, dressed weight of two pounds or less.”

    My local Whole Foods no longer have this Cornish hen. Where else I can buy it from? If I order a case would you be able to ship it?
